English

mina [271]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Portia and Other Female Characters

Explanation:

Portia is the main female protagonist of the play The Merchant of Venice. She is beautiful like Desdemona and Miranda; gracious and resilient like Cordelia and intelligent and quick-witted like Rosalind. Unlike Juliet, Portia is very tactful in choosing her husband.

Like Viola, Portia disguises herself as a man. She is even smart in assuming the role of an advocate's apprentice and helped save Antonio's life in court.

in argument and intelligence, Portia is better than Regan when she speaks in court. She discovers a technicality in the bond, thereby outwitting the Jewish moneylender Shylock and saving Antonio's life from the pound of flesh demanded.

London includes a quote about John Thornton as he is observing Hal attempt to motivate the exhausted dogs "It was idle, he knew,
stellarik [79]

Answer: 1. "It was idle, he knew, to get between a fool and his folly" means that it was useless and unimportant to make a fool understand something. 2. The fool is Hal. 3. His folly was his lack of good sense, trying to wake the dogs up. 4. John Thornton thought it was non-sense to intervene because regardless of the past warnings of the ice breaking down, he still wanted to wake the dogs up and continue moving.

Explanation: In the story, the team that is traveling towards their destination encounters difficulties to cross the river. John Thornton warns them that the ice is melting and that they might sink If they continue. Despite all the tragedies and losses the team has had in the trip, Hal ignores the warnings and tries to wake the dogs up. Thornton concludes that trying to convince a fool and his lack of non-sense is useless and unimportant since there is no way Hal will understand.
